I seem to recall coming across a really simple-to-use -- and free -- program that used tiles to create a wilderness hex map. I can't find it any longer and would dearly love to do so, because I may have need of it for this weekend's session of the Dwimmermount campaign.

James, I've been lurking around your blog for about a month now (coinciding with a return to old-school D&D after a 20-year absence) and hope I can return a favor for all your dead-on writing. I found something like what you are talking about here when working on my own campaign: http://www.rpgmanager.net/

Just a stab in the dark, but Vista is weird about letting applications run unless they are installed and/or being run by the user as Administrator. Unfortunately, it may be something that needs to be fixed within the executable of the application itself. I'm still running XP Pro, so I don't know for sure. Perhaps someone else knows how you can run an old VB-based application with Admin permissions in Vista? Is there a simple "right click, Run as administrator" solution?
